Chapter 352 Equipment Card: Thunder Halberd
Sherlock had mixed feelings.
He never expected that he would be able to participate in a battle of this magnitude.
When he and Aiwass arrived at the scene riding the griffin Lizzie, the giant prince Wolfram was at a steady disadvantage.
There was no doubt that the giant wanted to escape. He used all the tricks and trump cards he had prepared over the years one after another, barely withstanding the first wave of attacks.
Sherlock was terrified by those mysterious, strange and powerful ritual spells - if they were all used to fight the Great Guardian, Mr. George would probably be in trouble.
——However, the King of the Wild Hunt is too strong.
It practically ignored all spells and continued to attack the giant. The ordinary undead were constantly defeated, but it had no effect on the battle situation at all... they would regenerate again tomorrow night.
The giant could only rely on the various states he had gained in advance to barely compete with the King of the Wild Hunt.
He had previously used only one-tenth of his strength and his existing skills, without even using his Dao abilities, to inflict a single blow on the new Supervisory Director of Glass Island. He was truly skilled, able to rely on his enhanced state to avoid serious injury even when facing a significant disadvantage.
Despite being at a disadvantage, they were able to gradually stabilize the situation.
If they approached at this time, they would most likely be directly affected by the ritual spell - Aiwass could turn into bats to avoid it, but what should he and Liz do?
And Aiwass gave an extremely precise command——
He asked Sherlock to use the "petrification-releasing ointment" made by Julia to condense into a mud eagle, and then crash into the giant prince.
——This is the same combat strategy as the "Water Demon's Hand - Sulfuric Acid Filling" used by Sherlock in the promotion ceremony when he first met Aiwass!
Aiwass wasn't a mage at all, yet he was able to accurately grasp the inspiration from that battle and determine what they should do most at the moment...
Even though Aiwass had mentioned the power of the Wild Hunt King before, Sherlock was still terrified when he actually watched the battle up close - it probably had the legendary sixth energy level power, and the aftermath of its attack alone could tear apart the atmosphere.
Sherlock made this judgment because it was far more powerful than the Great Guardian. Even if it was alone, it could probably annihilate the entire Griffin Legion... and this was even if it had hardly used any special abilities.
The giant prince battling it was a top-tier warrior, at the fifth energy level of the main path and the fourth energy level of the secondary path. Even if he was completely suppressed by it, it was definitely not something Aiwass could intervene in. Even if he summoned the phantom demon known as the "Rebellious Flame Butterfly," he would probably be killed in two moves.
He even saw various countermeasures to fire damage on the opponent—the Path of Wisdom's "Super Intelligence: Analysis" allowed him to accurately judge the effects of these conditions, and thus roughly infer the outcome of the simulated battle.
The result was that Aiwass and Sherlock were completely unable to get involved in a battle of this scale.
——However, Aiwass's command had a miraculous effect.
Of course, the mud eagle did not cause any damage, and was even blown up before it could successfully self-destruct.
But even so, some of the "petrification-releasing ointment" was still sprinkled on the giant prince's body.
This directly led to the removal of his [Petrified Skin] status!
And Aiwass did another thing.
A strange Tarot card appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he threw it directly at the King of the Wild Hunt like a dart.
Sherlock held his breath in fear.
The King of the Wild Hunt simply slapped it away and ignored it - the Giant Prince's hatred was too steady.
But at the moment the spear touched the card, the card suddenly exploded into a shadow, covering the spear in the hand of the Wild Hunt King.
Sherlock instantly deciphered the situation, realizing it was an incredibly powerful buff. The Wild Hunt King also clearly realized this, and for the first time, he glanced over with a hint of surprise.
So, Aiwass strengthened the Wild Hunt King's attack, and Sherlock weakened Wolfram's defense. As one strengthened, the other weakened, but their fighting styles did not suddenly change - the result was that the Wild Hunt King's attack suddenly pierced Wolfram's petrified body.
Using this attack as a breakthrough point, Wolfram finally lost his balance. He was defeated in just a few moves and was killed directly.
"As Aiwass said, sometimes just one crucial spell can turn the tide of battle..."
This finally made Sherlock breathe a sigh of relief, and he felt a little more admiration for Aiwass.
His combat awareness was truly exceptional. After arriving at the battlefield, he only needed to glance around twice to command a Daoist class he had no idea about to make the most accurate response.
But at this moment, Aiwass told Sherlock that Wolfram was not dead yet and asked him to "touch the body" first. Sherlock simply understood that this should be some kind of slang for collecting spoils.
I don't know where this kid learned this. He's full of jargon.
Little Sherlock muttered to himself, but still obeyed Aiwass's arrangement and went to "touch the corpse".
Having activated his "super intelligence" state, he is indeed suitable for analyzing whether various things are useful and whether they are extraordinary equipment.
And Aiwass turned into a bat and rushed back to the other side of the battlefield.
Originally, Aiwass's request was simply to hold steady and not let the enemy escape. However, Haina, having acquired the Golden Path's characteristics and activated the Holy Sword, seemed incredibly powerful... With the help of the Flame-Butterfly, Lily, and the Shadow Demon, she easily defeated the Punishment Demon in just a few rounds. She even managed to injure it but not kill it—a much more difficult task than simply killing it directly.
Facing the demons who had completely given up resistance, Aiwass knew what kind of overwhelming strength they had demonstrated.
Only in this way will the demon of punishment stay here and wait for death instead of trying to fight back or escape.
...But you didn't expect that you would have no chance of resurrection.
Aiwass chuckled and recited aloud:
"—I call upon the Great Master, the God whose sacred number is four, the God who sees the truth, the God who remains silent!"
A bullet, shackles and keys, three griffin feathers, and four owl feathers.
The material levitates in the air on its own, carving a wheel of fate in the air.
The original Wheel of Fortune featured a four-part wheel in the center. Its corners featured a lion, an eagle, an angel, and an ox, representing fire, water, wind, and earth. These animals were all reading books, each with wings on its back. It was truth and wisdom that allowed them to control their own destiny.
The Wheel of Fortune has three levels, with three guardians at the top, bottom left, and bottom right. They are the blue Sphinx holding a sword at the top, the yellow snake-like evil god Apophis on the left, and the red Anubis on the right. Because the snake's head is facing downward, the Wheel of Fortune rotates counterclockwise.
Sinking downwards, rising from hell, rising to the highest point again, and then sinking again - this is the cycle of fate.
Aiwass felt the magic power in his body being drained madly.
Not only the five points originally needed to make the card, but more - more than sixty points of mana were drained.
But Aiwass did not resist, and allowed the ritual to drain the magic power from his body.
Just then.
A bolt of lightning fell and struck the demon of punishment who controlled the thunder!
It was a seemingly ordinary bolt of lightning.
But the Punishment Demon turned into powder almost instantly - and it was sucked into the sapphire powder and flew to the card in front of Aiwas.
This is a thunder struck by Weizhe himself!
Stained by the soul of the punished demon, the tarot cards in front of Aiwass began to change suddenly.
It turned into a blue-purple Tarot card.
The card spun and landed in Aiwass's hand, revealing its attributes:
[Equipment Card: Thunderbolt Halberd (Wheel of Fortune)]
[Required: Wind 3 or Dark 3]
【Action, Summon, Repeat】
[Effect: Summon "Thunderbolt Halberd" (Supernatural weapon - Halberd, Heavy, Punishment, Armor Break, with "Demon Slayer" module, Thunder attribute attack)]
[Effect: Use again to increase the holder's "Lightning Affinity" level by 3, lasting for one minute]
The activated mana is two points more than the normal Thunder Spear.
But there is an additional repeat effect... Is this the enhancement obtained after completely sucking the demon of punishment dry?
This should have made Aiwass ecstatic.
But now his attention was attracted by the card surface:
Above is still the sphinx holding a sword - the sphinx also represents sulfur, which represents the mind in alchemy.
On the right is Typhon, the legendary son of Tartarus, the god of the underworld, and the father of Cerberus, the hellhound. It represents salt, and salt represents the flesh of living things.
Anubis is on the left, climbing upwards, while Typhon on the right falls downwards, signifying the reversal of the wheel of fate – from counterclockwise to clockwise.
Unlike the previous composition, the four living creatures at the four corners of the wheel and the heavenly clouds are gone.
Those shining things turned into stars in the sky.
The entire Wheel of Fate was enveloped in thunder. Yet, the thunder did not harm the three gods in the slightest—proving that this thunder was the great power that destroyed the old Wheel of Fate and turned it right. It also foreshadowed the great philosopher who controlled the thunder.
And at the bottom of the Wheel of Fortune, there is a small, almost invisible fist.
It was a clenched human fist.
Human beings have grasped the wheel of fate and made it spin with their own will.
This destiny does not require the divine control of the four living creatures, and humans must never lie down and read comfortably - they must stand up and seek change.
——Change your destiny with your own strength.
Aiwass looked at the card and seemed to understand something.
He murmured softly, "So-called people...are all stars."
As soon as he said this, he felt extremely familiar.
It was as if I had heard these words before...
Six thousand words update——
My sleep and rest schedule is getting worse and worse, but I feel like my physical condition is getting better after getting enough sleep.
I think the update time can be temporarily changed to 6pm... Everyone please come and check it out at 6pm!
